❌ Before HireAra

👉 Previous Process: Consultants used to manually format CVs themselves

Spending 20-30 minutes formatting CVs into their standard template.
- The process was clunky & frustrated consultants.
The CVs being sent massively varied in quality, style & layout, ultimately not reflecting the quality brand SpencerOgden wanted to present themselves in.
The process sat outside of CRM (Bullhorn), meaning data was not organised & managed under one roof.

✅ After HireAra

- In the initial phases with HireAra, Spencer Ogden took the opportunity to build their new brand design into HireAra to empower their team with easy-to-use templates.
- Branded & structured to reflect Spencer Ogden's Unique style of candidate presentation.

AI Enablement & Content Generation
- Generative AI is booming, candidate presentation is a great opportunity to make the most of it’s powers. BUT compliance & enablement are two key challenges.
